A human resources investigation is underway at Lanier Middle School following a racist rant last week by a teacher toward a group of students.

Principal Todd Hamilton on Tuesday sent a letter home to parents to inform them of the investigation after the school was notified by “several parents that a teacher allegedly raised her voice with students” and classified the remarks as “inappropriate comments.”

The investigation centers on an incident that took place Sept. 28 when a health teacher was allegedly heard “yelling and screaming” in a hallway at black students when they left an early-morning intramurals class before the bell rang.

Kim Cooper, a parent at the school whose son was in the area of the incident but not the target of the alleged tirade, said Brenner called black students disrespectful for leaving early.

Hamilton did not name the teacher in the letter but said the teacher later led a class discussion about the alleged incident

Commission OKs major Dacula development

BY CURT YEOMANS

The old Olympic tennis center near Stone Mountain is now standing on borrowed time.

Gwinnett County officials plan to take over the facility, which hasn’t hosted a tournament in years, through a series of land purchases and trades that opens the door for the land to possibly be redeveloped by the private sector and put back on the tax rolls. The deal was approved unanimously by Gwinnett commissioners on Tuesday.

But the deal means the building’s life will come to an end. Since the facility, built for the 1996 Olympics, hasn’t been used in years, it has begun falling into disrepair, making it a draw for abandonedbuilding explorers who have entered it secretly and posted videos of their trips on YouTube.

“It’s got to come down; it’s got to be demolished,” County Commission Chairwoman Charlotte Nash said. “It’s not in any kind of condition (to remain) …

Demolishing it is cheaper than trying to fix it up. I’m sure that’s the case.”

Cushing’s disease best treated by specialist DEAR DR. ROACH: I was told that I have Cushing’s disease, which has caused diabetes, high blood pressure, hunger, weight gain and muscle loss. I was never sick before this, and I did not have any of those things. I am told I have a tumor on my right adrenal gland. I have been to numerous doctors, but most have not been too helpful.

They seem to try to treat the diabetes or blood pressure, but nothing else. They seem not to be familiar with Cushing’s. I tell them which medication works, but they still give me new medication. I have an endocrinologist and am scheduled to meet a urologist.

I have managed to go to physical therapy, exercise every day and lose over 50 pounds. I am not happy with the advice I’m getting.

I was told that surgery to remove the tumor will fix everything, but that I would need to take steroids for either a short term or for life.

My body is already making too much cortisol. I have 50 more pounds to lose. I work hard to keep the weight down. I feel like a science experiment — within a week, I have had three different medications. I could not tell which was causing the side effects and making me dehydrated. I am not sure surgery is right for me, because they said it can be done laparoscopically, but if they can’t do it that way, they will have to cut me all the way across, which may take a long time to heal and may get infected.

Do you know what tests will confirm the diagnosis?

Would surgery fix all these problems? I had the 24hour urine test, the saliva test and blood tests. I want to know if it may be something else instead of Cushing’s. I’m not on anything for the high cortisol levels.

— A.L. ANSWER: It sounds very much like you have Cushing’s syndrome, which is caused by excess cortisone, a hormone that has many effects. It is called Cushing’s disease when the underlying cause is a pituitary tumor that causes the adrenal gland to make excess cortisone.

(Cortisone and cortisol are different names for the same chemical, also called a glucocorticoid.) Cushing’s syndrome also may be caused by an adenoma (benign tumor) of the adrenal gland, which sounds like the case in you.

Your endocrinologist is the expert in diagnosis and management, and has done most of the tests. I am somewhat surprised that you haven’t yet seen a surgeon to have the tumor removed. Once it is removed, the body quickly starts to return to normal, although losing the weight can be a problem for many.

Abuse survivor sees impact on children Dear Amy: After an abusive 25-year marriage, in which I worked two jobs to help support the children, I finally left after my husband threatened, at gunpoint, to kill me and our son. At that time, our two girls were in college and the military, respectively.

We went to a shelter and later moved in with various family members out of state.

Eventually, my son, then 14, opted to return to his father’s home.

I lost contact with him for the next four years, due to his father’s threats.

I’ll always regret allowing him to return to Hell. I later discovered his father had kicked him out and he was living with a girlfriend and her mother.

The girls survived on their own during the time I was getting my education.

They started families and live successful middle-class lives. Each has two beautiful children.

At 50, I graduated into a lucrative field and brought my 18-year-old son to live with me.

While working, I supported my son through several bad ventures. He eventually matured and is now living with a good woman in a home he purchased. (I gave him and his

Ask Amy

Amy Dickinson sister the down payments.)

My three children live all over the country. They act very distant to me. One daughter accused me of not protecting her, and told me not to visit again.

My other daughter is cold and abrupt. My son says we can never be a family again.

I am bewildered by their anger. I have tried to be supportive. Do you think my family can ever be repaired?

— Sad Momma Dear Sad: You have worked very hard to escape your abusive marriage and rebuild your life. But — all of your children spent the entirety of their childhoods in the household you describe as “Hell.” Surely the fact that they are functioning at all should be considered a triumph on their part.

You have been financially generous with your children, but money has absolutely no meaning when what they really desire is

the decent childhood they were denied.

You don’t mention being willing to talk with your children about their childhoods. You might feel that their abusive and violent father is solely to blame for everything, but they look at it this way: “We had two parents; why didn’t you protect us?”

Children who witness violence experience the effects of this trauma in various ways for the rest of their lives.

It is not too late for you to reconcile, but you will have to allow each of them to express their own pain without reacting defensively.

Professional counseling would help all of you.

Dear Amy: My stepchildren are grown and have children of their own. I have always tried to be a great stepmother. We always make sure we give the grown children and our grandchildren birthday and Christmas gifts, but when our birthday (mine especially) rolls around, we do not receive anything.

We sometimes get a “Happy Birthday” text, or an “Oh, we don’t buy gifts for adults” reply.

I don’t give in order to receive, but anything would be nice. It could even be

from the grandchildren.

I want an outsider’s opinion: Am I being a petty stepmonster?

— Stepmother Dear Stepmother: Birthdays are one day when each of us has the opportunity to feel recognized and appreciated.

Being “seen” in this way is important and affirmative.

The gift-giving in your family is imbalanced.

Give gifts if you want to, but because it seems to make these adults uncomfortable, you should dial down your recognition to a card and/or phone call or text.

Reserve your gift-giving for the grandchildren.

For your birthday, your husband should prompt his offspring with a heads-up: “Mary’s birthday is tomorrow and I know she’d really appreciate a call from you and the kids.”

If they continue to ignore you on this day, it speaks poorly of them — not you.

Don’t feel the need to compete with a braggart.

It’s up to you to make wise choices.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 19) — You’ll have a better grip on what’s going on around you and a better idea how you can make things turn in your favor. Use your insight and knowledge to get what you want.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Listen to others’ complaints, but don’t venture to disagree or make a fuss. Once you digest what’s being said or done, you will find an alternative solution that works for everyone involved.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You need to get firsthand information and do the work yourself if you want to avoid interference and setbacks. Rewards will come your way when the job is complete. Experience will lead to expertise.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Handle financial matters, contracts and discussions personally.

Joint ventures should not be trusted unless you have everything documented legally before you begin.

Face-to-face talks will help you avoid being duped.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Participating in business events will give you a platform to present what you have to offer. Be precise and don’t make promises that you cannot fulfill. Follow through on your plans and strive to excel.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Partnerships can be established and changes can be implemented to make your relationships run smoothly. An open heart and mind will bring good results. Make love a priority.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You’ll thrive in situations that present you with a competitive challenge.

Your drive and determination will push you to the top and help you bring about change. Business trips will prove fruitful.

NGHS to buy Barrow Regional Medical Center From Staff Reports The Northeast Georgia Health System will purchase Barrow Regional Medical Center in Winder, the hospitals announced Monday.

NGHS President and CEO Carol Burrell said the organization sought input from the community before the purchase agreement was signed.

“We are excited to expand our footprint in Barrow County,” Burrell said. “We have physician services already located in this market — primary care, orthopedic and sports medicine services provided through Northeast Georgia Physicians Group and cardiology services provided through The Heart Center of Northeast Georgia Medical Center.

ing as a System,” said Anthony Williamson, NGMC Braselton president.

In April 2015, NGHS opened North Georgia Medical Center in Braselton that has since experienced increased volume — especially in the emergency department, Williamson said. He said that the additional space is much needed for one of the fastest growing areas in Georgia.

Barrow County hospital will benefit financially by becoming part of NGHS, said BRMC CEO Chad Hatfield.

“There are ever-increasing financial pressures on small hospitals as our state and national healthcare landscapes evolve,” Hatfield said. “Infrastructure requirements are increasing and payment models are rapidly changing, especially as we look to a future of population health management.

“Joining a system like NGHS that has a regional service distribution and sophisticated infrastructure already in place is critical. NGHS has a track record of clinical and operational excellence and we’re pleased to join with them in providing the highest quality health care to our community members.”

It will have to take place in two steps. First, Gwinnett will buy 34.95 acres of land next to Stone Mountain Park’s golf course in DeKalb County for nearly $1.2 million.

That land will then be given to the Stone Mountain Memorial Association, a group created by the General Assembly in the 1950s, in exchange for the 24.26-acre tennis property.

“As a Gwinnett taxpayer and SMMA board member, I believe this is a good transaction for both the county and the association,” Stone Mountain Memorial Association Board Member Perry Tindol said in a statement released by Gwinnett officials.

“The county obtains a property for future development in a strategic area, and the association is able to further protect the boundaries of the park.”

Over the years, ideas have been thrown around about what to do with the property, but nothing has come to fruition as of yet.

Ideas have ranged from tennis-related uses to more urban projects.

Gwinnett officials plan to open the door for developers to offer input, though.

“We have a general idea, but we’d like to put it out to the private sector and see what ideas come back to us,” Nash said. “I’m really interested in seeing what folks who have a lot more knowledge in that field may bring to us as proposals.”

Nash said county officials said the site — which sits on the GwinnettDeKalb line — has the potential to be a good gateway for the county.

“Conceptually, even before we had any discussions with the Stone Mountain Association, it just jumps out because it

is right there at the county line and it just seems so underutilized in terms of what’s on the property,” Nash said. “It’s very visible (on U.S. Highway 78) and so it just cried out to have a different approach than what was there.”

Other commissioners who represent the area echoed those sentiments, citing the site’s location as a bonus that makes it ideal for redevelopment. The area along U.S. 78 is split between the commission districts represented by Commissioners Tommy Hunter and Lynette Howard.

“The site, which is strategically located at the end of a controlled access highway, offers easy access to the interstate system and proximity to an awesome amenity in the park, both pluses for any future redevelopment,” Hunter said in a statement.

In the same statement from the county, Howard added: “This is a win-win for both Gwinnett County and the Stone Mountain Memorial Association.

They will get property that helps to protect existing park resources while we get a chance to revitalize this key location in southern Gwinnett County.”

The move also comes at a time when the Evermore Community Improvement District, which includes the site and has offices in the center’s old pro shop, is undertaking a massive, multi-phase project to create an alternative east-west route parallel to U.S. 78 designed to alleviate traffic on that corridor.

Although it has not been decided whether the Evermore CID office will have to move as a result of the deal, the district’s Executive Director Jim Brooks endorsed the county’s move to acquire the land as a positive step for the area.

“We think it’s a great opportunity for redevelopment and reuse and can be an anchor to the southern part of Gwinnett County,” Brooks said.

“Almost everyone knows someone — a wife, mother, sister, daughter, grandmother or friend — who has been affected by breast cancer,” said Glynn Jenkins, public relations director for Kroger’s Atlanta Division. “With more than 230,000 American women diagnosed each year, Kroger is committed to raising awareness and support for those whose lives have been changed by

this disease.”

Kroger’s Atlanta Division will also host a variety of initiatives in local communities, including one on Saturday, when volunteers with Susan G. Komen Greater Atlanta will share literature and other information at select metro Atlanta stores as part of “Pink Ribbon Saturday.”

By the close of 2016, Kroger will have donated more than $30 million to support breast cancer research, education and services since 2006.

Menneg hopes to continue to be there for others emotionally as well as by helping raise awareness and funds for the cause. She said oftentimes people do not consider little things like a breast cancer pillow that comforts double mastectomy patients or the cost of even a single treatment.

Gwinnett Medical Center Foundation President Jason Chandler said volunteers such as Menneg have played a major role in sharing resources with the community.

The foundation is a private nonprofit that financially supports the hospital’s efforts to meet the needs of the community. The nearly 30-year-old organization, which is separate from the hospital, seeks to focus on medical center programs that improve the quality of life in Gwinnett County. “(Menneg) worked tirelessly with members of our cancer center leadership team like Domingo Valpuesta and Jennifer Griffin as well as another charity called Paint Georgia Pink to rally other volunteers, hospital associates and physicians and hundreds of donors to create one of the largest cancer walks in Gwinnett’s history,” Chandler said.

The inaugural event took place this past weekend with a crowd of 1,000 at Coolray Field in Lawrenceville and raised $87,000.

“My guess is that the Paint Gwinnett Pink (5K) Walk will be an annual event the first Saturday of every October for years and years to come,” he said.

Chandler said that 100 percent of donations are used for hospital equipment and services including cancer care.

“We believe national research is a vital good in the fight against breast cancer,” Chandler said.

“However, there are programs here in Gwinnett that are also vital to the cancer patients who live here. We are dedicated to serving the citizens and those who visit Gwinnett Medical Center for their health care.”

Chandler said thousands of donors in the community have given a total of $2.9 million for cancer care in the last 15 years.

“The foundation raises awareness and support from GMC associates and physicians, community members and a variety of organizations to help patients fight cancer with new technology, world class facilities and greater access to care,” he said.

“It’s very gratifying to know we played even a small role in helping donors help heal other people,” he said. “The operating margins for hospitals across the nation are tighter and tighter. Philanthropy plays a critical role in helping us accelerate our ability to bring new talent to the community, cutting edge equipment to our facilities and access to care for those who are under insured.”

Dacula The homes would range from 1,200 square feet for what is being labeled “live/ work units” to 5,000-squarefoot large and rural lot homes. Some of the houses will be townhouse mansion duplexes.

The county’s assessment states the school would house 550 students ranging from kindergartners through 12th graders, although they would be spread across 11 two-story buildings. Planning staffers have recommended there be a prohibition on portable classrooms at the school and that the

student body be capped at 550 students as a condition of approval.

It’s also expected to have two village greens which could host farmers markets, two more “pocket” parks, walking trails and open space areas.

The church would have seating for 700 people and there would be commercial buildings along Jim Moore Road.

BJM Properties also wants to reconstruct the intersection of Jim Moore Road and Hamilton Mill Road to have a roundabout.

Drug Companies Fear Release of the New AloeCure

by David Waxman Seattle Washington: Drug company execs are nervous. That’s because the greatest health advance in decades has hit the streets. And analysts expect it to put a huge crimp in “Big Pharma” profits.

TOP DOC WARNS: DIGESTION DRUGS CAN CRIPPLE YOU! Company spokesperson, Dr. Liza Leal; a leading integrative health specialist out of Texas recommends Aloecure before she decides to prescribe any digestion drug.

Especially after the FDA’s stern warning about long-term use of drugs classified as proton pump inhibitors like Prilosec®, Nexium®, and Prevacid®.

In a nutshell, the FDA statement warned people should avoid taking these digestion drugs for longer than three 14-day treatment periods because there is an increased risk of bone fractures. Many people take them daily and for decades.

Dr. Leal should know.

Many patients come to her with bone and joint complaints and she does everything she can to help them. One way for digestion sufferers to help avoid possible risk of tragic joint and bone problems caused by overuse of digestion drugs is to take the AloeCure.

Analysts expect the AloeCure to put a huge crimp in “Big Pharma” profits.

The secret to AloeCure’s “health adjusting” formula is scientifically tested Acemannan, a polysaccharide extracted from Aloe Vera. But not the same aloe vera that mom used to apply to your cuts, scrapes and burns. This is a perfect strain of aloe that is organically grown in special Asian soil; under very strict conditions.

AloeCure is so powerful it begins to benefit your health the instant you take it. It soothes intestinal discomfort and you can avoid the possibility of bone and health damage caused by overuse of digestion drugs. We all know how well aloe works externally on cuts, scrapes and burns. But did you know Acemannan has many of other health benefits?...

So whether it’s damage that is physical, bacterial, chemical or autoimmune; the natural plant helps the body stay healthy.

RAPID ACID AND HEARTBURN NEUTRALIZER Aloe has proved to have an astonishing effect on users who suffer with digestion problems like bouts of acid reflux, heartburn, cramping, gas and constipation because it acts as a natural acid buffer and soothes the digestive system. But new studies prove it does a whole lot more.

REAL CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL: “I’m always in ‘indigestion hell’. Doctors put me on all sorts of antacid remedies.

Nothing worked. One day a friend said, “Why don’t you try AloeCure®. I was shocked! I decided to experiment. I stopped taking the PPIs altogether and replaced it with a daily diet of AloeCure®.

Then something remarkable happened NOTHING! Not even the slightest hint of indigestion. For the first time in 40 years I didn’t need pills or tablets to avoid indigestion. Thank you AloeCure®!

SIDE-STEP HEART CONCERNS So you’ve been taking proton pump inhibitors (PPI’s) for years and you feel just fine. In June of 2015 a major study shows that chronic PPI use increases the risk of heart attack in general population.

UNLEASH YOUR MEMORY Think about it. If you kept dumping fat and grease down your drain; how long do you think it would take to clog it up?

The answer is, not very long at all. And that’s exactly what happens to your brain every time you eat processed, fried or fatty foods. Studies show that your brain needs the healthy bacteria from your gut in order function at its best. Both low and high dosages of digestion drugs are proven to destroy that healthy bac-

Doctors call it “The greatest health discovery in decades!” teria and get in the way of brain function. So you’re left with a sluggish, slowto-react brain without a lot of room to store information. The acemannan used in AloeCure actually makes your gut healthier, so healthy bacteria flows freely to your brain so you think better, faster and with a larger capacity for memory.

SLEEP LIKE A BABY A night without sleep really damages your

hair…more youthful looking skin… And nails so strong they may never break again.

SAVE YOUR KIDNEY National and local news outlets are reporting Kidney Failure linked to PPI’s. Your Kidney extracts waste from blood, balance body fluids, form urine, and aid in other important functions of the body.

Without it your body would be overrun by deadly toxins. Aloe helps your kidney function properly. Studies suggest, if you started taking aloe today; you’d see a big difference in the way you feel.

New Medical Breakthrough Discovered…

That’s because scientists have figured out a way to extract a vital nutrient from an old bladder treatment. Harness its healing powers and create a solution with a 91% success rate for men and women with bladder control issues.

The first group of participants to try this solution are already seeing huge improvements. Initial users report less daily and nightly bathroom trips, less leakages, less urgency, pressure and more control with their bladder. These early users are finally enjoying the simple pleasure and joy of getting back to normal life.

A Groundbreaking Discovery This is all possible because of a mysterious compound – from a sprouted seed.

Scientists found this to be a key ingredient for a natural bladder remedy – something which has been around for over 700 years. And this nutrient is what gives this pill it’s healing powers.

Until recently, the problem has been trying to extract this nutrient in a useful way.

Missing Link Found And Tested As Dr. James Leaper M.D. explains: “once the compound was understood by scientists, research shows that it had the ability to alleviate bladder issues for both men and women that arise over the years from the effects of aging, processed foods, radiation, and surgeries.”

“In men the culprit could also arise from an enlarged prostate and in women from the long-term effects of pregnancy and menopause,” he added.

Studies upon studies confirmed that this nutrient improved bladder control in both men and women over the age of 50. It’s been shown to reduce the need to rush to the bathroom and lowers the chances of leaking.

The participants in the studies for this nutrient experienced fewer interruptions at night, resulting in better sleep and reported feeling more refreshed in the morning.

When human clinical trials were done at health institutes in Japan recently, the results were quite amazing.

91% Success Rate With Users 52 to 86 years old

A nutrient is discovered that ends bladder woes for those who try it.

This nutrient has been extracted in its most potent form and is available in a formula called Bladderol.

It’s causing a commotion as bladder sufferers are clamoring to claim their supply. That’s because the results have been nothing short of amazing.

Relief For Thousands With Bladder Troubles Imagine, being in a better mood throughout the day because you’re well rested. Because you slept through the night without a single interruption.

And you woke up naturally, and went about your day emptying your bladder on your command. Not anxious about long car drives or going to big events where a bathroom may not be accessible for hours. The freedom of not having to cut back on fluids, wear pads, diapers or worry about accidental leaks.

Thats what thousands of men and women are experiencing with Bladderol.

Bladder Control Is Just The Beginning But this formula doesn’t just help you take charge of your bladder. It provides 11 more essential nutrients your body needs to support a healthy urinary tract to fight off infections.

Users report feeling a renewed surge of youthful energy but also protection from urinary tract infections. The added benefits are truly amazing.

Unprecedented Demand With bladder problems affecting close to 30 million Americans, its no surprise that when word got out, men and women across the country have been demanding that they get their hands on this formula.

But because the manufacturer maintains a strict commitment to quality, their production is limited and cannot keep up with demand.

It is only available in small batches and sells out almost immediately.

It’s impossible to find an unsold bottle on store shelves anywhere in the country.

Special Opportunity For Georgia Readers This is the official release of Bladderol in Georgia. As such, the company is offering a special discounted supply to any person who calls within the next 48 hours.

The results were recently published in the world renowned, Journal of Medicine and Pharmaceutical Science showing:

A Regional Order Hotline has been setup for local readers to call. This gives everyone an equal chance to try Bladderol.

• 79% reduction in urine leakages • 41% decline in nightly bathroom trips • Reduced pressure and urgency • Improved sleep satisfaction

Starting at 7:00 am today the order hotline will be open for the next 48 hours. All you have to do is call TOLL FREE 1-888-484-8375 and the company will do the rest.

At the end of the clinical trial, after seeing the results - 91% of the participants said the formula “significantly improved” their symptoms and would continuing taking the treatment. And close to 40% started seeing the results as quickly as 2 weeks!

IMPORTANT: Due to Bladderol’s recent media exposure on ABC, CBS, and FOX NEWS, phone lines are often busy. If you call, and do not immediately get through, please be patient and call back. Those who miss the 48-hour special discount offer will pay more for Bladderol.

THESE STATEMENTS HAVE NOT BEEN EVALUATED BY THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION. THIS PRODUCT IS NOT INTENDED TO DIAGNOSE, TREAT, CURE OR PREVENT ANY DISEASE. ALL DOCTORS MENTIONED ARE REMUNERATED FOR THEIR SERVICES. ALL CLINICAL STUDIES ON BLADDEROL’S ACTIVE INGREDIENT WERE INDEPENDENTLY CONDUCTED AND WERE NOT SPONSORED BY THE MAKERS OF BLADDEROL. 480-1

The name of the product is the AloeCure. It’s not a drug. It’s something completely different. And the product is available to anyone who wants it, at a reasonable price. But demands may force future prices to rise.

ADVERTISEMENT

Early users are seeing no more frequent runs to the bathroom, leakages, accidents, pressure, or nighttime urgency while enjoying more restful sleep.

Big Pharma stands to lose billions as doctors’ recommend drug-free “health cocktail” that adjusts and corrects your body’s health conditions.

So what’s all the fuss about? It’s about a new ingredient that’s changing the lives of people who use it. Some call it “the greatest discovery since penicillin”! And others call it “a miracle!”

Advice for Trump in next debate

Donald Trump scored a gentleman’s “C” in his first debate with Hillary Clinton. She was programmed, like one of those androids from the film “Westworld,” spewing out well-rehearsed sound bites, smiling (sometimes condescendingly) and even tossing in a few wiggles. It was all designed to make her look warm and wonderful.

As the saying goes, if you can fake sincerity, you can fake anything.

Trump did best when he didn’t focus on himself and this is the pattern he should follow in the next two debates.

As a seasoned debater who has taken on professors and liberal thinkers on campuses from Harvard, Dartmouth and Yale in the east, to the University of California, Davis, in the west, I think I can say without too much hubris that I know how to destroy a bad argument.

Let’s start with the race issue.

Cal Hillary Clinton Thomas slammed Trump for comments she regards as racist. If she tries that again, Trump should extend the road he began to walk down Monday night. He was right to say that his opponent and her party have had decades to repair the racial divide (which President Obama suggested he would do), but that chasm has only widened over the last eight years. Real racism, Trump should say, is refusing to allow minority children in failing public schools to escape them in favor of better ones simply because many teachers’ unions oppose school choice and contribute significantly to the Democratic Party.

Trump should take on the issue of poverty and propose a public-private partnership with churches and religious institutions that would be assigned an individual in need of help. These churches then would do all that was necessary to help that person escape poverty, including offering financial advice, access to education or even baby-sitting services so that this person could go to school.

Retiring baby boomers could find new purpose in life by helping someone become independent of government programs, which have cost a lot, but have done little to reduce the number of poor.

Trump should ask Hillary Clinton why she thinks government is the answer to so many of the nation’s problems when in reality it has too often caused or contributed to this country’s ills. She wants to grow government even more, spending additional billions in borrowed money, mortgaging the futures of generations to come. Remember when Democrats decried debt? That was when a Republican occupied the White House.

Again, during Monday’s debate, Trump started to make the case for success in business and in life, but he made it more about himself than others. Americans are inspired by stories of people who have overcome obstacles and Trump should not only tell their stories, he should start featuring them in his political ads and on stage with him — as he has done with veterans. Inspiration has always been the fuel that ignites economic and personal growth.

One subject we didn’t hear discussed in the first debate was the Constitution. Hillary Clinton said she believes in a “living Constitution,” meaning it is open to interpretation by liberal judges to fit the times. What does Trump believe about our founding document?

On nuclear weapons, Trump needs to embrace Ronald Reagan’s view (and that of President Obama) that they need to be reduced, especially in rogue regimes. Talk of using such weapons is irresponsible, though our adversaries must believe we would use them if attacked. The prospect of mutually assured destruction during the Cold War ensured nuclear weapons would not be used.

Extremist regimes, like Iran, do not appear to fear a nuclear apocalypse.

Lastly, how about appealing to personal accountability and responsibility in the second debate? Let’s hear about entitlement reform, entitlements being the main driver of debt. As I have argued, government should be a last resort, not a first resource — a safety net, not a hammock.

More than missing emails and Hillary Clinton’s character (which is already fixed in the minds of most people) voters want to hear about subjects that will affect their lives. It’s about us, more than them.

If Trump can close that deal, he is likely to score a “B” in the next debate. If he scores higher, he just might win in November.

Readers may email Cal Thomas at tcaeditors@tribpub.com.

our view There are many ways to raise awareness about an issue. This past weekend Gwinnett Medical Center presented a new one when it hosted its inaugural Paint Georgia Pink 5K walk, an event designed to kick off October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

With more than 1,000 people descending on Coolray Field in Lawrenceville, the event accomplished its goal. It’s our hope that today’s Pink Paper does as well.

Picking up a paper that sports a pink front page is an eye-opener, which is exactly the point of the endeavor. You have to grab someone’s attention when you want to help make them aware, and we think this initiative does that.

“

Picking up a paper that sports a pink front page is an eye-opener, which is exactly the point of the endeavor. You have to grab someone’s attention when you want to help make them aware, and we think this initiative does that.”

Printing a Pink Paper has become a Daily Post tradition, one that now numbers eight years. The goal?

To promote the need for early detection and routine check-ups as a way to lead the fight against breast cancer.

According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women (behind lung cancer). But the chances of surviving it are very high when detected in its early stages, which is why re-

minding people — with 5K walks and papers colored pink — is so important.

Please let today’s paper (and our website, which also features a pink hue) be that reminder to make an appointment or ask someone you love to make one.

Death rates from breast cancer have been declining for nearly 30 years, the ACS says, due to earlier detection, improved treatment and increased awareness. When breast cancer is detected early, the survival rate is 98 percent. That

number makes it easy to conclude how important it is to get regular check-ups.

There are 2.8 million breast cancer survivors in the United States, a number that will continue to rise with continued diligence in scheduling routine checkups that will help lead to earlier detection. It’s a thought that needs to stay in the forefront of your minds.

We hope today’s Pink Paper will help remind you.

This month has gone to the dogs As months go, October is hard to beat. It gives us the beginning of fall, cooler temperatures in the evenings and mornings (and sometime soon maybe even during the day), big conference football matchups and treats such as cider and good stuff made of pumpkin.

Though October’s main holiday — Halloween — pales in comparison to those offered by November and December, it still features plenty of candy (most of it eaten prior to the day it is to be given out), which is nothing to sneeze at. And it offers the chance to visit a pumpkin patch or a corn maze, which might include a hay ride and, yes, more treats (Sense a theme here?).

There’s lots of good about October and the transition it provides into the final months of the year, which will be cooler and more hectic. But October is also

a microchip and spaying or neutering. Not a bad deal.

Central’s Williams piling up passing yardage

By Paul Thomas

paul.thomas@ gwinnettdailypost.com

In each of his last four games, Central Gwinnett quarterback Jarren Williams has thrown for more than 300 yards.

He started the year slow with just 122 total yards and a touchdown in the opener against South Gwinnett. Then in Week 2, he started to heat up with 301 yards passing and two touchdowns against Dacula.

After missing the Roswell game due to injury, he’s been on fire the last three weeks. In a win over Collins Hill, he threw for 324 yards and three touchdowns, while running for 84 yards and two more TDs. In a loss to Norcross’ stout defense, he still manJarren aged to Williams throw for 338 yards and a touchdown.

Last week in a Region 7-AAAAAAA game with Lakeside-DeKalb, the junior Kentucky commit really put on a show as he was 18 of 23 for 314 yards and five TDs passing and had 33 yards and another TD rushing.

Yet the 6-foot-3, 211-pound signal caller isn’t satisfied with his performance.

“I’m playing OK,” he said. “There’s a lot of reads that I missed that could have went for touchdowns and some pulls that I have shouldn’t have pulled it, I should have gave it. There’s still a lot of things I need to work on as an individual.”

Last week’s win over the Vikings put the Black Knights (2-4, 1-1 region) in good position in Region 7, likely needing to just defeat Meadowcreek and Berkmar to secure a postseason berth.

Williams has completed 56 percent of his passes this season for 1,367 yards and 11 touchdowns with no interceptions. He’s also run for 175 yards and four TDs. He said he’s much more comfortable now in Central’s scheme than he was when he first arrived as a

Peachtree Ridge’s Heyward making his own path as jack of all trades

By Paul Thomas

SUWANEE — Peachtree Ridge senior Connor Heyward has been the football version of a Swiss Army Knife during his Lions career.

He’s played five different positions as a threeyear varsity starter, including lining up as a starting wideout and safety this season for the Lions.

He’s lined up at quarterback, running back and even punted at times.

“Good. He doesn’t say much,” Peachtree Ridge head football coach Mark Fleetwood said of how Heyward handles playing so many different roles.

“It’s been a lot for him to get thrown in and go.

But he wants to. He wants to make a difference.

When that game’s on the line and it’s at the end, he wants the ball in his hands.”

Heyward comes from

His other brother, Corey Heyward, graduated from Peachtree Ridge as well and is a redshirt senior on the Georgia Tech basketball team.

“It has its perks, but I definitely have a lot of high expectations, which is a good thing,” Connor said. “I just want to create my own legacy.”

habits are what make him such a strong player, according to his coach.

“He loves the game and he loves to compete,” Fleetwood said. “He likes to win. He’s a guy that works really hard. He knows how to practice and that’s a neat thing with players that age. Understanding the work ethic and what it takes and how good you have to practice to perform on game day the way he does. That’s a big part of it.”

It’s a trait that also has stood out to Peachtree Ridge head basketball coach Keith Arrington.

Heyward will be in his fourth year of varsity basketball for the Lions in the 2016-17 season, also bringing a multitude of skills to the table in that sport.

Parkview grad Jon Stinchcomb received a prestigious honor Tuesday morning by the Southeastern Conference, which named the former Georgia and NFL standout as a member of its 2016 SEC Football Legends class.

Stinchcomb and Jon the other former SEC Stinchcomb stars will be honored at events surrounding this year’s SEC Football Championship Game in Atlanta in December. It’s the second SEC Legends distinction for the Stinchcomb

“You talk about feeling old, when you hear that word ‘legend,’” Stinchcomb joked. “But it is such an honor.

You talk about the greatest conference in college football recognizing you as a representative of the University of Georgia. It’s humbling and it’s quite an honor to represent your schoool.”

Stinchcomb was a first-team AllAmerican for Georgia as a senior in 2002, helping the Bulldogs win their first SEC championship in 20 years. He was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-America Team for the second year in a row in 2002 and also was one of

I Hate Annuities... and So Should You! Guaranteed Income – Too Good to Be True?

Many people own or are seriously considering annuities. After all, they are sold as safe investments, offering dependable and predictable returns, no matter what the market does. And that sounds very appealing, especially after suffering through the worst bear market since the Great Depression.

So what’s the problem with annuities?

What You Might Not Know about Annuities Could Come Back to Haunt You

Before you put your hard-earned money into an annuity, or if you already own an annuity, please call 1-800-609-8972 for a special report, Annuity Insights: Nine Questions Every Annuity Investor Should Ask. Written by a team of Fisher Investments financial professionals, it could help save you hundreds of thousands of dollars and untold financial heartache.

You see, the vast majority of annuities are really complicated insurance policies with lots of small print, conditions and riders that make it difficult to understand the implications and unintended consequences.

And once you buy into an annuity, it can be a difficult and potentially costly investment decision to reverse. So if you are considering an annuity, it is vital you “look before you leap”. If you already own an annuity, this free report can help you sort out the good, the bad and the ugly aspects of annuities.

What You’ll Learn from this Free Report • The different types of annuities and the advantages and disadvantages of each • Why annuities can be complex to understand and may require additional research • What you need to ask an annuity salesperson when evaluating his or her product • The inflation risk, tax implications, estate planning considerations and typical annuity fees

A Message from Ken: If you own an annuity and are uncertain about how well it is suited for your needs or if someone is trying to sell you an annuity, I urge you to call for your free report. Annuities can lock you into low returns, complicate your tax situation and tie up your wealth. While guaranteed, predictable income sounds tempting, you need to fully understand the cost, fees and implications of annuities. If you are already in an annuity, my team can help you decide if it is right for you and your needs. And if it isn’t, we might be able to help you get out of it with less pain and even help you offset some of the annuity surrender fees.* The call to request your copy only takes a minute, but it could save you from making one of the biggest investment mistakes of your life. And for owners of annuities, the free analysis could be a lifesaver.

Stuck in an Annuity?

If you currently own an annuity and want a free custom analysis of its strengths and weaknesses, please call us immediately. Because people often regret their annuity decision, Fisher Investments has helped many investors extract themselves from annuities. In fact, if you have a portfolio of $500,000 or more, we may rebate some or all of your annuity surrender penalties.* Please call for details and to see if you might qualify.

Surrender costs will generally be reimbursed in the form of a credit to quarterly advisory fees, and payments will cease if the relationship is terminated before the end of the payment period.

DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Name: Blake Carroll School: Mountain View Position: Running back/linebacker Class: Junior Highlights: Rushed 14 times for 115 yards and two touchdowns, in addition to making eight tackles, one for a loss and a pass breakup on defense, in the Bears’ 56-21 win over Duluth Coach Nick Bach’s take: “We’ve been kind of waiting to let him loose on offense a little bit and it seemed like a good week to do it. He’s an exceptional athlete who has dramatically improved himself over the years here. He just keeps getting bigger, faster and stronger over his years here. I know he’s going to be a good player for years and years. He makes plays on defense every week, but I’m glad we could get him some touches on offense.”

Name: Terrion Dangerfield School: Norcross Position: Linebacker Class: Junior Highlights: Made 10 tackles, intercepted two passes and broke up another pass in the Blue Devils’ 38-15 win over Parkview Coach Keith Maloof’s take: “He’s come along really well. He’s learning what Coach (Pat) Standard wants him to do on defense. He’s making (passing) windows smaller than what they should be on Friday nights. We’re just proud of how he’s developed as a player. He made a lot of plays for us the other night.”

GEORGIA TECH AT PITTSBURGH: SATURDAY, 12:30 P.M. (ACC NETWORK)

Jackets’ defense improving, but still needs better starts

By Stan Awtrey Staff Correspondent

ATLANTA — Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson admitted that his team’s defense has been much better in the second half of games.

Now he wants to see the same results in the first half, before the team gets behind like it did against Miami and Clemson.

“The defense (against Miami) played much better in the second half, especially on third down,” Johnson said. “We’ve got to find a way to take that momentum and find a way to get it from the start of the game.”

The Georgia Tech defense had one threeand-out in the first half against Miami, but allowed a 90-yard drive before the

Hurricanes scored on a pair of fumble returns. In the second half, Miami had seven possessions and was forced to punt five times, three of them on three-andouts.

But the defense has allowed the opposition to score on its first possession in the last four games.

• Mercer drove 75 yards in nine plays for a touchdown.

• Vanderbilt drove 75

yards in 11 plays for a touchdown.

• Clemson drove 75 yards in nine plays for a touchdown.

• Miami drove 85 yards in eight plays for a touchdown.

“Four games in a row we’ve give up the opening drive for a touchdown,” Johnson said. “It’s not like we haven’t talked about it.

You’ve got to go out and do it, get a stop and get a better start.”

Johnson even took the ball first after Georgia Tech won the coin toss against Miami. But that strategy didn’t work, either.

The Yellow Jackets have been stingy in the red zone. Opponents have scored only seven times (six touchdowns, one field goal) in 20 trips inside

20. Their .538 red-zone percentage ranks second nationally behind Ohio State.

Thomas gets an OK rating: Johnson said quarterback Justin Thomas has been adequate, but has yet to play up to his ceiling.

“Overall he’s played OK,” Johnson said. “We’ve got to protect him better and I’d like to get him a little more involved in the run game and if we could get it sealed off better I think he could do that.

He’d be the first one to tell you he hasn’t played his best game, but he’s been OK.” Thomas has rushed for 151 yards and one touchdown and thrown for 458 yards and two touchdowns this season.

Thomas needs 41 yards

to reach 2,000 rushing for his career. He is 388 yards short of reaching 6,000 total yards.

Mills honored by ACC: Freshman B-back Dedrick Mills was named ACC Rookie of the Week after he rushed for a career-best 99 yards and two touchdowns against Miami.

Mills also caught a touchdown pass. He also got the honor after his three-touchdown performance against Vanderbilt. Mills ranks third nationally among true freshman with 75 yards per game and leads with seven rushing touchdowns.

Kickoff set for Ga. Southern: The ACC announced that the starting time for the Georgia Southern game on Oct. 15 will be 12:30 p.m. It will be shown on Fox Sports South.

’Dogs just ‘out-jumped’ at end

By Jon Gallo

Staff Correspondent

Of course Georgia coach Kirby Smart addressed it on Monday, because everyone who has seen it is still talking about it, and it will be a mainstay on highlight reels for decades.

There’s no escaping it, no hiding from it and certainly no ignoring it — certainly not when a national television audience saw it play out in front of a capacity crowd at Sanford Stadium on Saturday.

“It” of course is Joshua Dobbs’ game-winning 43yard touchdown pass that soared through the air as time expired before landing in hands of Jauan Jennings, who was surrounded by an array of Bulldogs in the end zone.

And just like that, then-No. 11 Tennessee’s Hail Mary prayers were answered with a 34-31 win, while the then-No. 25 Bulldogs found a way to lose a game they thought they’d won minutes earlier, when Riley Ridley caught a 47-yard touchdown from quarterback Jacob Eason with 10 seconds remaining.

But less than 48 hours after Georgia’s chances for its first SEC Eastern Division title since 2012 were all but extinguished, Smart defended the way his team played during a down that will forever live in Volunteer lore — and in Bulldog infamy.

“Everybody on the field executed their job,” Smart told reporters on Monday, as he broke his 24-hour rule when it comes to discussing game outcomes.

“We got a little boxed out by the big guy. But it wasn’t like you could watch the play and say, ‘This guy didn’t do what I told him to do.’ We got out-jumped, and the guy timed his jump a lot better than we did, which I think everybody saw.”

Georgia had at least four Bulldogs surrounding Jennings, but no one in front of him, enabling the 6-foot-3 receiver to catch a ball that none of the Bulldogs could reach, including Georgia’s 6-foot-6 linebacker Lorenzo Carter, a Norcross grad. “(Lorenzo) kind of got a surge back on him,” Smart said. “He ended up behind it, instead of coming forward into the jump, he ended up behind it. He kind of got pushed back by everything.”

The play capped a game in which Georgia led, 17-0, late in the first half, 24-14 entering the fourth quarter and 31-28 with four ticks of the clock remaining.

But all of the good Georgia did for 59 minutes and 50 seconds against a Tennessee team that was considered better at nearly every position evaporated with a flick of Dobbs’ right wrist.

The Bulldogs forced three turnovers, including recovering a fumble in the end zone, and averaged nearly four yards a carry against one of the nation’s better defensive fronts.

Eason didn’t throw an interception and his strike to Ridley was the game’s defining moment — until it wasn’t.

“It hurt, to see it happen like that,” senior defensive

back Maurice Smith said.

“I think we would have rather gotten blown out than lose like that.”

Regardless, Georgia, which started 3-0, is now 3-2 and 1-2 in conference play — not where fans envisioned the Bulldogs being entering Saturday’s trip to South Carolina (2-3 overall, 1-3 SEC).

Georgia should face the Gamecocks with someone it didn’t have against the Vols: running back Nick Chubb, who’s expected to play this week after being sidelined with a sprained left ankle that forced him to watch the latest loss from the sideline.

“He’s cleared to go,” Smart said “We’ll see where he’s at and make sure he builds his reps as the week goes and is ready to go for the game.”

Haley said during a press conference. “As of now I can’t imagine that happening but certainly we’re going to continue to watch this. I would love nothing more than to see this take a right-hand turn and go out to sea.

“As it looks right now, we’re looking at Friday afternoon into Saturday being pretty brutal.”

South Carolina coach Will Muschamp is focusing solely on football.

“Our administration is handling all that through the SEC office,” Muschamp said. “All of my energy is game planning for the game. Whatever happens happens. I’m not the least bit worried about it.”

The SEC released a statement pertaining to the LSU-Florida and GeorgiaSouth Carolina contests.

“As a matter of practice, the SEC communicates regularly with schools on significant weather issues and will remain in contact with the schools involved in both football games that have potential to be impacted by Hurricane Matthew this weekend,” the conference said.

The Florida Gators are at home in Gainesville against LSU and the current plan is for the game to be played.

LSU players faced a similar situation last season due to flooding in South Carolina. The game was eventually moved to Baton Rouge due to the issues.

“We’ll see. It kind of reminds us of South Carolina,” kicker Colby Delahoussaye told The Advocate. “As far as the way my mindset goes, either we go there or go somewhere else or go here, I’m ready to play. I try not to think of where the venue is at, just be prepared for whatever gets thrown in front of us.”

Weather impacts could be felt north of Florida’s coasts.

Notre Dame, scheduled to play Saturday at North Carolina State, has been in direct contact with Atlantic Coast Conference commissioner John Swofford.

Fighting Irish coach Brian Kelly said Notre Dame provided a 24-hour window — Saturday at noon through Sunday at noon — in which the program would be willing to play the game.

Stewart goes out fighting in finale

By Don Coble

Staff Correspondent

Tony Stewart quietly bowed out of the first round of the playoffs Sunday. A 13th-place finish at the Dover International Speedway sealed his championship fate as his NASCAR career winds closer to the finish line.

There were no tantrums, no outbursts. He wasn’t pointing fingers at other drivers; nobody was pointing fingers at him. He knew he essentially had to win the race to make the 12-driver cut into the second round, so he accepted the fact he would be a bystander in the Chase for the Championship in the final seven races.

Through it all, he found a way to smile.

“I’m pretty excited about our day,” he said. “This is as good as we had.”

For the most part, Stewart was pleased that his chances hinged on his ability to work traffic, manage the quirky suspension and manhandle the high banks of the racetrack known as the Monster Mile. At least there, where the noise is deafening and the anxiety is pegged, he has control.

He will miss that part of NASCAR. He won’t miss anything else.

Stewart feels cars have become so technical, sponsors have become so demanding, emotions too often are guided by a sense of correctness and there aren’t enough

for so long before you finally say, ‘The people that need to make it better can’t make it better.’ I’ve had my fill of fighting the fight.”

Stewart isn’t walking away from racing. As a co-owner of Stewart-Haas Racing, he still will have sponsorship duties. But when he’s not meeting and greeting corporate big-wigs, he probably will around his racing roots at Sprint Cup Series driver Tony Stewart (14) during prac- local dirt tracks.

The 12 drivers who moved to the second round — Martin Truex Jr., Jimmie Johnson, Kyle Busch, Kurt Busch, Kevin Harvick, Carl Edwards, Denny Hamlin, Brad Keselowski, Joey Logano, Matt Kenseth, Chase Elliott and Austin Dillon — now advance to the next three-race segment that includes races at the Charlotte Motor Speedway, Kansas Speedway and the Talladega Superspeedway.

“I think this first round, to me, has been similar to races that we’ve seen throughout the year,” Elliott said. “I guess just kind of regularly.

him come back and battle,” Falcons coach Dan Quinn said. “He has terrific ball skills. With the interception, it would’ve been OK with us if he took a knee and went down, but we came back.”

Hooping it up The Falcons ran the same play and got an even better result from rookie tight end Austin Hooper.

Quarterback Matt Ryan rolled to his right and threw back to the left sideline to Hooper, who was wide open in the Panthers’ secondary. He caught the ball and easily scored his first career touchdown on the 43-yard play.

Hooper had a 42-yard catch against the Raiders in the previous game on a play that looked similar.

“Same design, same exact play,” Hooper said.

“The linebackers were being real aggressive, trying to sell out the run, so that’s

kind of our counter to that.

It kind of keeps them honest. (Offensive coordinator) Kyle (Shanahan) called it, we executed it. Matt threw the perfect ball and I just caught it and turn around and run.”

Hooper said the moment was so “surreal” that he didn’t do much celebrating. He handed the ball to a game official before Falcons tight end Levine Toilolo, his former teammate at Stanford, retrieved it.

“Levine is like, ‘Don’t do that!’” Hooper said.

“He grabbed the ball, said, ‘You need to keep this one.

It’s special.’”

The Falcons selected Hooper in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft with the expectation that he would improve the passing game with his speed and receiving skills. For the season, Hooper has five catches for 140 yards and the touchdown.

Stinchcomb •From Page 1B 11 Division I players nationally to be named to the AFCA National Good Works Team for outstanding contributions to community service.

A 2002 recipient of the National Football Foundation Post-Graduate Scholarship, Stinchcomb was drafted by the New Orleans Saints in the second round of the 2003 NFL Draft, was recipient of the Saints Man of the Year Award for 2008 and was a starting offensive lineman on the Saints’ 2010 Super Bowl Championship team.

After Stinchcomb is recognized as an SEC Legend in Atlanta on Saturday, Dec. 3, he flies to New Orleans for a Sunday, Dec. 4, ceremony as a member of the Saints All-50th Team, a group of the top 50 players in the 50 years of the NFL franchise.

“It’s going to be a busy weekend,” Stinchcomb said. “But it’s all good stuff. It’s very exciting.”

Stinchcomb has settled back in Gwinnett, where he works as director of operations for NG3, an organization that works

on character-building with youngsters at local high schools. NG3 has a representative at eight high schools, most in Gwinnett and a recent addition of George Walton Academy in Walton.

Stinchcomb is part of a 2016 Football Legends Class — one player is honored for each SEC school — that includes Heisman Trophy winner and coaching legend Steve Spurrier of Florida.

The other selections this year are Chris Samuels (Alabama), Shawn Andrews (Arkansas), Jason Campbell (Auburn), James Whalen (Kentucky), Robert Dugas (LSU), Kris Mangum (Ole Miss), Randy Thomas (Mississippi State), Justin Smith (Missouri), Travelle Wharton (South Carolina), Deon Grant (Tennessee), Ray Mickens (Texas A&M) and Chris Williams (Vanderbilt).

The annual SEC Legends Dinner will be held Dec. 2 at the Hyatt Regency in Atlanta. The selections also will be recognized prior to the SEC Football Championship Game at the Georgia Dome.

Eagles •From Page 1B its billing in the semis (building an 8-1 lead over the Wildcats in the first quarter) and finals.

“We didn’t begin the season (as a favorite),” said Eagles coach Jarod Stentiford, who is assisted

by Collins Hill head swimming and diving coach Jenny Weaver. “Going undefeated through the regular season put a pretty big target on our backs. We were definitely the favorites, but I told the girls going in that (the tournament) is a different beast. You lose one game and you’re out.”

Katie Torrez was one of the Eagles’ key players all season, capped by an impressive effort in the playoffs. Stentiford called her the “MVP of the league in my eyes, a great leader and a great captain.”

Kelsey Mahurin anchored the team’s defense, as did goalies Caitlin Hamilton and Kaitlyn Kasper, while captain Lindsay Weingarth also was an important player and leader.

They were joined on the championship team by Ava Callis, Sarah Fitzsimmons, Sadie Maxwell, Emma Ruiz, Bailey Knapp, McKenzie Jenny, Litzy Patino, Amara Foringer and McKinsey Shorter.

All of those players went through the training rigors of water polo,

especially tough under their new head coach.

They practiced three nights a week, two hours per session.

“They were pretty intense practices,” said Stentiford, a South Africa native who has been involved in water polo for 23 years. “I was raised and grew up in South Africa, and I went to a pretty strict school. My coaches were pretty hardcore. That’s what I expected out of the girls, to listen, swim hard, practice hard and it will come out in the game.”

The finals was a rematch from earlier in the week that saw the Eagles squeak out a 9-7 win over Lakeside. In the finals, they jumped out to a big lead and coasted to the victory despite a pair of late goals by Lakeside.

“You could see the focus, the teamwork and the camaraderie,” Stentiford said. “You could see the work they put in, the team dinners, team outings. They just came together as a fierce unit.

Their defense and their offense was just beautiful to watch. It’s staggering to see from the beginning of the year to this time of the year. It’s just awesome. As a coach, you’re beaming with pride. They had come a long way and they didn’t come into season as favorites. They didn’t even come into the season on the radar.”

Peachtree Ridge’s Connor Heyward (10) drives to the basket around Norcross’ Lance Thomas (22) during the first half of a game last season at Norcross High School. (Photo: Kyle Hess)

Heyward •From Page 1B “He’s got such a wide skill set,” Arrington said.

“He’s not great at any one thing, but he can a do a lot of everything. He’ll guard a post, he’ll guard a point guard, he shoots it pretty good, handles it pretty good, he’s very physical, he’s a great passer.

“He can do a little bit of everything. He’s played on the varsity since he was a freshman. Just been a pleasure to coach, especially in games. He is such a competitor. He brings it. Against Norcross he’s guarding the (Rayshaun) Hammonds kid, who’s 6-foot-9, top 40 in the country (No. 38 in the ESPN 300) and he’s just giving him all he wants. Generally speaking, against the better teams is when he plays the best.”

Heyward’s 6-foot-2, 220-pound frame gives him the ability to play in the post at times, but he’s athletic enough to be a guard as well. He averaged

8.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game last season.

Arrington said that if hoops was his only focus, Heyward could be a Division I player. But schools haven’t pursued him as a basketball prospect, knowing that his future lies on the gridiron.

He has offers from 15 schools, including Pittsburgh (where his father played), Arizona State, Boston College, Georgia Tech, Georgia Southern, Iowa and Kansas State to name a few.

“It’s kind of getting to a lockdown point in the recruiting process,” Heyward said.

He wants to avoid dropping a top five list or leaders, opting to just commit to his top school when he’s ready.

“It’s kind of getting stressful now because it’s just getting faster and faster,” he said.

When Heyward decides on a school, the college then will have to decide

where to use the versatile senior. He began his career as a quarterback when he was a freshman before moving to receiver as a sophomore.

He began last season as a quarterback but moved back to receiver after Fred Payton emerged as the signal-caller. He ended the year with 31 catches for 362 yards and three touchdowns. He also passed for 276 yards and a touchdown while averaging 36.5 yards per punt.

He played a few snaps on defense last year but committed to playing both ways full-time in the spring.

This year he’s run the ball 29 times for 139 yards and five touchdowns, caught 15 passes for 158 yards and three touchdowns, completed his lone pass attempt and recorded 34 tackles.

He said playing receiver helps him on defense and that he feels he’s developed most as a receiver.

“My sophomore year I was more of a possession receiver and I used my

body more,” he said. “I feel like this year I worked on my craft in the offseason. I have more finesse moves.

I can get off the jam easier with not just using my body but with technique, and I can run the deep route and catch the ball in the end zone.”

Heyward said colleges have approached him about playing either defensive back or receiver in college.

He doesn’t have a preference about where he plays.

Fleetwood said he thinks Heyward can play on either side of the ball but that from his standpoint it would be a waste to not take advantage of his ability to catch the ball.

“His hands are incredible,” Fleetwood said.

“He’s got such good handeye coordination and he knows how to go get the ball and he knows how to get it at the highest point.

He’s a guy that constantly you throw him a ball in a clutch time and he seems to out-jump everybody and get the ball.”

Football •From Page 1B transfer from Shiloh.

“It’s actually progressed a lot,” he said of his handle on the playbook. “Me and the guys, we’re starting to get a little bit more feel for each other, we’re on the same page with audibles and stuff, the line calls, we’re all starting to get on the same page. It’s good.”

He’s also been aided by the spectacular play of senior running back Jalen Samuels. The 5-foot-11, 205-pound tailback has run for 668 yards and

four touchdowns on 104 attempts this season. He’s caught 20 passes for 268 yards and two TDs. “It takes a lot off my shoulders, honestly,” Williams said. “The line up front, they do an amazing job making a hole for Josh.

He gets up in there and does his thing and makes it a lot easier for me.”

Williams’ return has been big for Mustangs Meadowcreek (1-5, 1-1) earned its first win of the season last Friday with a 38-10 victory over Berk-

mar in the inaugural Louis Radloff Classic, thanks in large part to junior running back Chauncey Williams.

Williams has been nagged by injuries this season but has turned in two solid performances the last two weeks. After rushing for over 100 yards against Lakeside-DeKalb, he ran for 162 yards and a TD against Berkmar.

In the first quarter, he broke loose for a 47-yard touchdown run against the Patriots. It was the fourth game this season that Williams eclipsed the 100-

yard mark. He’s run for 618 yards and three touchdowns this season, despite being limited in two games early in the season.

Military night at Peachtree Ridge Peachtree Ridge will host Military Night during its home game against Mountain View on Friday.

Service personnel in uniform will be admitted free to the game and fed by the Peachtree Ridge Touchdown Club. Pregame festivities begin at 6:45 p.m. and kickoff is at 7:30 p.m.
